Yes sir. CB on the spine meant a lot to me in those days. Though I also really loved the Eerdmans name on my Charles Williams metaphysical thrillers. Also, I grew up on Amy Grant, Daniel Amos, Adam Again and so many other good bands. Love your channel.
Prayer power-ups. 😂 You gave a good description of prayer. I read this book maybe 4 years ago and did feel the spiritual warfare. Really the second time I spent time imagining what’s going on in the spiritual realm. That reminder was worth the read for me.
@@ReadJournalLove I hope it wasn’t lost in my review, but both this book and Screwtape Letters are good for making the reader think about and grapple with the reality of the spiritual realm. And Angelwalk by Roger Elwood.
@ oooo! You are in for a treat! (If it’s your jam!) (I hope it’s your jam…) Have you had a chance to read Till We Have Faces? Where does that fall on your exploration of his writings?
@ I haven’t got to that one yet. I’m almost done with Narnia. This month I read Messiah of the Cylinder by Victor Rossaeu and I really liked it. February I planned to read a Christian sci-fi from the 20s, but I couldn’t find one. I got the book you reviewed No Man in Eden to read in July for the 70s. It was 1969, but close enough.
My aunt and uncle told me that when this book first came out that they only had enough money for one copy so they would fight over who would get to read it in the evenings and would race to get home from work first 😂❤
I remember "Hangman's Curse" was the first Frank Peretti book I read in middle school and I think I read "This Present Darkness" shortly afterwards from our little missionary kids school in Mexico. Makes me wonder how many other countries had a copy of "This Present Darkness" just lying around because of Amy Grant's influence. 😄 If you're interested, I published my first novella on January 1st called "A Hedge Of Fire." It's a sci-fi/fantasy retelling of the first 11 chapters of Genesis and then borrows at least one idea or theme from every chapter of the book of Job. It would be cool to get your perspective on the book, and of course if you don't like the book you could always skip making a video about it and give a 1 or 2 star rating on Amazon. It won't hurt my feelings because I already have a few 4 and 5 star reviews. 😅 When I got feedback from beta readers, one said the writing style reminded them of C.S. Lewis while another said it reminded them of Stephen King. Add personalities like a pastor and a former cult leader to the mix, and that's the basic writing style you'll find yourself immersed into. There's also a couple subtle, or not so subtle, references to Narnia, Star Wars, and the Incredibles in the story. Once again, if you're interested let me know and I can tell you a bit more spoiler free info about "A Hedge Of Fire."

Forgot about the whole Grant/Smith connection to Peretti. Thanks for the memories and for sharing this video.

I was also reading Lawhead and Elwood in those days.
@@solovief I forgot to mention Elwood! (although I’ve talked about him a few times already…)

@ Totally enjoyed Screwtape Letters. I have been working on reading through Lewis’ books. Next month I start his Space Trilogy. Yay!

@ TILL WE HAVE FACES is my number one lifetime favorite novel. I want to do a video about it but I’m a little scared to.

@@SirensMuse that’s hilarious!
